'ou. 0R GAS STOVE.

SZPECIFICATION forming To all whom it may concern Be it known thatI,MICHAELO.ARMOUR, of

' Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Stoves, also Applicable toGas-Stoves, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to an improved mode of constructing the frame ofthe stove, whereby the movable lamps may be withdrawn from the positionwhich they occupy for heating or cooking, in connection with the stoveproper, to a locality beyond and away from said position, where they maystill remain connected with their supports, and, if desired, used forheating or cooking independently of the stove, or be lifted off,and-thus entirely detached from the frame. t

In a patent granted to me of even date herewith I have described andclaimed a frame co1nbined with lamps supported in sliding ways restingin the frame, said ways being adapted to receive the lamps and supportthem 'in po sition when drawn out, a portion of thelength of said waysbeing at all times connected with and sustained by the frame.

My present invention is designed to dispense with the sliding waysdescribed in my said patout by the employment of a frame whichinitselfis projected forward so as to form ways upon which the lamps maybe moved out and sup ported.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a stoveor range constructed in accordance with my invention, one ofthe lampsbeing shown withdrawn. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section. Fig. 3is a vertical longitudinal section. Fig. at shows a modificationhereinafter described.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar partsin the respectivefigures.

A A are the end castings, which are held to. gether by the shelf (1, thetop casting, b, and the central casting, c, which latter forms the projected ways upon which the lamps slide, and are supported in theiroutward position. The casting qand top I) are tied together by a brace,c, the end castings, A, and shelf a being held together and strengthenedby brace d d d. The top casting, b", is provided with the ordinaryopenings, 6, for the lids c. The central porpart of Letters Patent No.305,267, dated September 16, 1884.

Application filed July 7 1894. (X0 model.)

tion of the casting b is grated or ribbed, as

shown at b, or otherwise constructed to receive heating or cookingvessels. The casting 0 projects outward beyond the top casting, b, tothe point f. The casting a is provided with ways 9, upon which theflanges g of the oil-pots of the lamps .13 rest. The lamps are of theusual construction, as shown in several of my patents. Vhen the lampsare in use in connection with the stoveproper, (which may be said to beconfined within the area of the top plate, 1),) the lamps are in theposition shown by the two lamps at the right-hand side of Fig. l, and asrepresented also in Fig. 2. lVhen so located each of the lamps issituated directly under the top plate, I), and the heat from the lampspasses directly under said plate to act upon cooking-vesselsplacedthereon.

I do not limit myself to any particular con struction of stove or lamp,as this invention may be used with stoves of a variety of forms, or withlamps of any construction, provided they are adapted to he slid alongthe ways provided for them andto be used as independent heaters. Thelampat the left of Fig.1is shown in its forward position, it being drawn outuntil the front portion of the oil-pot g strikes the bar 71, forming apart of the casting c. The forward movement of the lamp may be checkedor stopped in any other suitable manner. hen

drawn out in the position shown at the left of Fig. 1, the lamp may beused as an independent heaterthat is to say, cooking or heating vesselsmay be placed upon the top of the lamp. The top or upper portion of thelamp slides in guides 1', formed on the under side of the top plate, I).The guides are not, however, necessary to the invention, and may bedispensed with.

As anrodification of my invention, the guides ior their equivalent mightbe extended forward and serve to support the lamp in its outwardposition, in which case the lower sup; ports or ways would not berequired. Such a modification is shown in Fig. 4.

By my invention the lamp may be readily drawn out and supported forpurposes of trimming the wick, or to be used as an independent heater.The lamp may also, if desired, be readily lifted off entirely from theframe. It may,when lifted off, be placed upon the shelf IOO 7c. Theshelf 7; is detaehably connected tothe end casting, A.

It will be seen from the foregoing that the main object of my invention,regardless of the construction of the stove, is to adapt thelamp orlamps to be slid from under the top plate of the stove or beyond theareaoccupied by the stox e proper, and supported when slid out.

Having described my invention, I elai1n 1. In an oil or stove, a frameand a support connected therewith projecting beyond the front of thestove proper, combined with a lamp or lamps constituting an independentheater'or heaters, adapted to slide upon said support and be sustainedthereby beyond the front of the stove proper, substantially as setforth.

2. In an oil or gas stove, a plate or support for the lamp or lamps,projecting beyond the front of the stove proper, combined with a lamp orlamps constituting an independent heater or heaters, resting upon orwithin said plate or support and adapted to be slid under the stove topor plate or entirely out from the stove proper and supported in frontthereof, substantially as set forth.

In an oil or gas stove, a frame having a portion thereof extended beyondthe area of the stove proper, and provided with ways, combined with alamp or lamps, said lamp or lamps constituting an independent heater orheaters and resting upon said ways, whereby the lamp or lamps may beslid under the top of the stove or out beyond the area of the stoveproper and supported, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereto set my hand and seal.
